2019 NBA Draft Prospect Profile: Tyus Battle

The 2019 NBA Draft is now less than two months away, and the second round of the playoffs has begun. So, I have started to evaluate prospects for the upcoming draft. Let’s continue with Syracuse’s Tyus Battle.

Strengths

Production

Battle recorded three very productive seasons at Syracuse. He averaged 19.2 points per game as a sophomore, then 17.2 points in his junior season. That is no small feat in the ACC.

Weaknesses

Lack of an Elite Skill

Battle’s all-around game is very solid, but he does not have one elite trait.
